My first weekend without any classes.
There's no need to wake up early, or to worry about being late for the next class, or packing lunch so I can munch on my way to the next lesson, or to be stressed about students not remembering things which I have taught.
My weekend is back.
But I'm not sure why I'm feeling lost...
The weather these days is extremely warm and humid! At home, I have the fan blowing directly at me.
I was chatting with a KL friend yesterday and he was telling me for once, he is actually looking forward to work this week. Any reason why, I asked?
"Because there's aircon in office!"
... ... ...
Are you looking forward to work this week too?
I had to teach 3 classes today so I started work early at 7am and was done with the first class at about 5.45pm. When I went out of my student's house, started to search for my Pazzion grey shoes, I couldnt find it. In its place, there was a black pair of Vincci shoes sized 7 that fitted me very well. That's when I realized... my shoes were stolen!!
I was in a daze... Of all my years of teaching, I always leave my shoes outside the house so I was shocked to know that my favorite pair of Pazzion shoes was actually stolen. The culprit had the cheek to leave me a pair of her quite new cheapo Vincci shoes which probably just cost RM$15, not even 1/3 of the price of my shoe.
I didnt want to wear the Vincci shoes, so I asked my student to lend me her flip-flops, even though I will look totally mismatched with my corporate wear.
I dont wish to be evil... but I hope the culprit trips herself wearing my shoes
I was corresponding through email with an ex-colleague who has left the firm a few months back. I was checking in with him, how's things and work and he replied: "Busy but happy."
His word 'Happy' caught my eye and for a moment, I stopped and asked myself if I was happy?
Sometimes, being happy is to have a job, be in good health with no disability, and to have your loved ones healthy by your side. That's all we need to be happy.
I'm happy.
Are you?
Yet another wedding for this year... I just got to know that my friends in Taipei, Darren and 小倩 are getting married on 11 November.
After their marriage, they will move to Brisbane for 2 years. 小倩will be completing her degree in graphics design and Darren, who is currently a tour leader will quit his job and look for a travel related job in Brisbane as well.
Early congratulations to the beautiful couple! Hope both of you can visit Singapore soon!
The wedding invite which was designed by Darren and 小倩. Awesome!
Pretty isn't it? My niece wanted her daddy to buy this for me last weekend at the Esplande.
My classes were packed to the brim and every night I have been returning home past 11pm, so didn't get to see my niece at all.
To thank her for the lovely gift, I wrote her a note 'Thank you Adrienne. Yee-yee likes the ballet shoe keychain a lot'. My mummy told me she was so delighted to receive my note and kept showing it to my sister and brother-in-law.
Children.... they are so appreciative of the little things you do... Can I learn to be more thankful of the many blessings too?
